To ask how many people you've slept with?

I had DS young and have only slept with 1 other person other than DP.
A friend made a light hearted comment about do I not feel like I've missed out, and I feel bad to say it resonated with me.

AIBU to feel sad that 2 might be my lifetime number??

Apparently ive given my children a dreadful example as i was engaged at 17 and married at 21....im fairly positive they would include only having 1 sexual partner as a dreadful example as well Grin

Three. DP's also three. We got together at 20/22.

DavetheCat2001 · 03/02/2019 22:49

9...10 if I count an unfortunate incident when someone didn't take no for an answer.

Letsmoveondude · 03/02/2019 22:51

In the 30s. I didn’t count then I tried to, which was fairly hard!
Had a few good years. But I’m all settled now and hope to not have to sleep with anyone else.

Gardai · 03/02/2019 22:52

I’ve stopped counting...it means nothing. The old cliche of life being a rich tapestry of experiences is more applicable to me. Every person I’ve slept with has meant something at that specific time.
I’ve been married, been in love, had flings and it’s all ok.

MadameJosephine · 03/02/2019 22:53

I’ve never kept count, this question comes up often on here and I genuinely don’t understand why it would be relevant. At a guess it’s probably somewhere between 10 and 20 but whether it was 1 or 100, who cares?

ShortandSweet96 · 03/02/2019 22:54

8, would have been happy with 3 I think, your first, the first after the first with less nerves, then the third with confidence haha!

Been with OH 5 years and can happily imagine only sleeping with him from now on, never feel like I'm missing out.

Marshmallow91 · 03/02/2019 22:54

Probably a little less than 100. Consenting, protected and a shit load of fun

WeeTinkerMonkey · 03/02/2019 22:55

2 chickens,
3 rabbits
1 hamster
6 goats
And a duck.

  1. I'm amazed at how different the experience is with each man, and how much it affects my wants/fantasies.
FrenchyQ · 03/02/2019 22:56

More than 75 less than a 100

Jellykat · 03/02/2019 23:01

You've got to shag a lot of frogs before you find your prince Grin
If you find him first or second time round, great! If it takes 50 frogs, hey ho..if you've never found him, it was fun trying!
(i'm in the later category)

BlackType · 03/02/2019 23:01

A further thought. Number 3 is my current DP. I love him more than anyone other than my DC. If he were suddenly rendered impotent, I would be happy just to hold his hand (and I had a sexless marriage, so I know what it's like to do without - though that was not due to impotence, more to a dysfunctional relationship). If I never had another shag as long as I live, I'd be glad he was the last. There's more to this whole business than the number of penises you've had in your vagina.

I’m only interested in sex within a very serious relationship.

thaegumathteth · 03/02/2019 23:14

1 only dh. He’d slept with a lot more. Doesn’t matter.

A beautiful sentiment, one I'm in line with. Smile

joystir59 · 03/02/2019 23:20

About 15 men and women

CoolCarrie · 03/02/2019 23:20

As it says in the film 4 Weddings And A Funeral, “less than Madonna, more than Princess Diana." !

AlmostAJillSandwich · 03/02/2019 23:23

Zero, because i want to only be with one, and so far nobody has been the one i want to spend my life with.

Touchmybum · 03/02/2019 23:30

Very surprised to see how many 1s there are! I felt like a weirdo among my friends. One for me, and I married him nearly 29 years ago. I'd plenty of 'experiences' short of the actual deed; it was just the way things worked out.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 03/02/2019 23:32

I've stopped counting. Definitely 30+

halfwitpicker · 03/02/2019 23:34

God around 30 I think

IncrediblySadToo · 03/02/2019 23:40

orca💐 three, the ones you chose. The other one sexually abused a child. He doesn’t count for jack shit my love.
